Let's also be clear that the Inner Party (I know, Twat has no idea what 
that is restated the truth as doublespeak, such as "the chocolate ration 
has been raised from 28 grams to 20 grams."  Why does "right wing 
illiterate asshole" have to be *this* redundant?

Such language described by Orwell is called doublespeak. It is explained 
by William Lutz, author of the book “Doublespeak”, as language which 
“makes the bad seem good, the negative appear positive, the unpleasant 
appear attractive or at least tolerable. It is language that conceals or 
prevents thought.”Jun 14, 2022
